Systems and methods for analyzing report access data

Abstract

An access data analytics system including a processor and a memory is provided. The processor stores an electronic report in the memory. The electronic report is generated based on an electronic report query include a plurality of parameters. The processor also collects access profile data including metadata associated with a user accessing the report, stores the access profile data within the memory, receives an access analytics data request requesting access analytics data associated with the stored report, retrieves the stored access profile data, generates an access analysis table including the access analytics data associated with the stored report based on the retrieved access profile data, and provides an extract including at least a portion of the access analytics data associated with the stored report from the access analysis table to a requestor of the access analytics data request.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The field of this disclosure relates generally to analyzing data associated with accessing an electronic report and, more particularly, to network-based systems and methods for collecting, storing and analyzing the access data associated with a plurality of electronic reports generated by queries submitted by a client user and executed on a host computing device.[0002]Data is oftentimes generated and stored at a host computing device. Client computing devices, also sometimes called user computing devices, may be able to access the data stored on the host device. In at least some cases, the client devices can generate report queries that are submitted to the host device, placed in a query queue, and then executed by the host device on the data accessible by the host device to generate a report. The queries may include certain parameters that are to be included within or help define the report. The generated report may then include columns and rows of data that satisfy...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an access data analytics system that helps gather and analyze data related to user interactions with electronic reports. The system can receive a query with various parameters and generate a report based on those parameters. It can also collect access profile data, such as metadata, associated with users accessing the report. When requested, the system can provide an extract of the access analysis data, which includes information about the user's access to the report. The technical effect of this invention is that it allows for more targeted and effective analysis of user interactions with electronic reports, providing valuable insights for businesses and researchers.

Problems solved by technology

The generation of these reports can be very time consuming and costly.

Accordingly, the more reports requested by the user and generated by the host device means the more costs incurred by the host and / or the client requesting the report.

In addition, an increase in the number of reports generated also means an increase in the time needed to process such reports.
